LA BREQUIN.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB JARVIK, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of the city of New York, borough of the Bronx, in the county ofBronx and State of NewYork, have invented anew and Improved Lambrequin,of which, the following bers ofithe'extensible lambrequin; and toconceal the] connections or lines. of junctlon.

Fig. '2'is afront view of the lambrequin', the same being shown as fullyextended; a

Fig. 3 is a rearview of the lambrequin constructed as shown in Fig. 1, aportion of the covering of the rear lining'being removed to show theequalizing mechanism.

for controlling the expansion of the lambreum; q Fig. 1 is a verticalcross section, the section being taken as on the line 4- 1 in Fig. 3;Fig. 5 is a rear view of the lambrequin as shown in Fig. 2, the backcovering being removed to show the equalizing mechanism in fullyexpanded position;

Fig. 6 is a horizontal section of the lambrequin shown in Fig. 5, thesection being taken as on the line 6-6 in Fig. 5.

Description. As seen in the drawings, lambrequins.

when constructed in accordance with the present invention provlde threemain sec- I central section 11 and end The end sections112, as showneach tions, being sections 12. best in Fig. 6 of the'drawings, have acheek piecev 13 for boxing the ends of the lambrequin' or for fillinginthe space between the standing structure to which the lambrequin isapplied and the base of the lambrequin or thefsections 12there0f As 7shown best in Figs." 1 an'd2of the drawings,

the sections 11 and 12 have-shaped lower Ledges ornamentally arranged toterm with 7 2 of the drawings.

one another a continuous design, the lines whereof are best suited for aheading or top ornament for a window or door opening. .The sections arepreferably constructed as panels, employing for this purpose, wood orother suitable material, such as binders board. Suitably mounted on thewood panels 14: and 1.5 forming the backs of the sections 11 and 12,respectively, are

having an ornament 20 corresponding with the ornament 21 with which thesections 11 as shown best in Fig. To conceal the joints between thesections-11,- 12 and 19, the vertical edges of the sectionsfll land 12are ornamented with folds 22 or other suitable devices, which willoverlie the edge of the panels .11 and 12 and the adjacent portions and12 are furnished,

, of the sections 19.

When arranged as above described, it W111 be seen that as the sections11 and 12 are separated, the sections 19 are exposed and fill theintervening spaces between the said sections 11 and 12. It will also benoted that the ornaments 22 covering as described the joints between thesections 11 and 12, carry out the illusion of a continuous structure. 7

I It is obvious that the sections 12 at both sides of the section 11should be separated therefrom at equal distances, and that the extendedstructure should not sag when outstretched. To this end, it will benoted that the rails 18 have dove-tailed tongues 23, which fitcorresponding grooves in the rails 16 and 17.

grooved rails 16 and 17 as best shown in The union thus formedbetweenthe said rails 16, 17 and 18 resists any sagging or parting tendency ofthe said rails in vertical directions. The noted bending tendency isfurther resisted by the lazy-tong-connecting structure at the back ofthe panels, and which is secured thereto and to the reinforcing braces24 and 25 on the sections 11 and 12, respectively, by means of the pivotpins 26 and 27 The lazy-tongs structure is further reinforcedintermediate the pivot pins 28 by the collapsing levers 29 and rockingarms 30. The levers 29 and arms-30 c0- operate to retract the pins 28from the posi vtionof-the levers 29 and tion shoWn i nFig. 5 of thedrawings, to the position shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. In themovement of the arms 30, it willbe noted that they rotate on the pins 26through an arc of approximately ninety degr=ees,me-- tractlng 1n thlsmanner the levers 29 and ;pins;,28 inwardly toward. the pins 26.

With a connection such as above described, it will be recognized thatthe lambrequin may be expanded orcontracted to any dement is obtainedfor the collapsible regulatsired degree without sa ging of the sectionsforming the saidlambrequln. a

.As best shown in Figs. 3 and 1-, cover jplates3l and are attached tothe rails 16 and '18, respectively. The meetingcdges of .the said platesover-lie one another. These plates serve to close or :conceal thelazytongs and lever-supporting connecting structureprovided-forthesections 1-1, 12 and '19.
